I was born in the LAND of the INCAS, home of the turbulent government, PERU. I moved here in 1988 and started writing to keep myself sane. I am bilingue, I am an emigrante, I am a poet - who expresses what he sees happening in his community - through the power of words. I am also a proud father and loving husband. And a supporter of the local rap scene as well as CONSCIOUS Latino rap - cuz rap is POETRY to me. I love soccer, I love to write but most of all - I love to share my work with WHOM EVER WANTS TO LISTEN.
